Sheldon's Luncheonette — Restaurant in Colorado Springs

A hidden gem. My wife and I came here for lunch and were not disappointed. The place reminded me of an older diner that I went to as a kid. As soon as we got seated, we were waited on, ordered drinks, and was told about the daily specials that they had. As soon as they said them I was torn on what I wanted to eat. Home made meat loaf or the chicken fried stake, 🤔. I was so torn. The waitress came back and I decided to go with my original choice, the chicken fried stake. My wife had a grilled cheese with crispy bacon, and fries. Neither one of us was disappointed. Her grilled cheese came out perfect, and her fries were delicious (I sneaked one to try). My chicken fries came out and was covered in gravy (the waitress asked how I wanted it) along with the mashed potatoes. It also did not disappoint. Hard to find a good chicken fry. It was yummy! I asked the waitress if it was homemade and she said yes. Then there were the pies, oh the choices….. After a long decision and a recommendation from the waitress, I went with the banana cream pie. It was very tasty but, I could have had a bigger piece.

Overall, the place cozy, food was excellent, and the service was on point. Just a great experience for the first time coming here. Little on the pricy side but, what isn’t these days. We are already making plans to come try the breakfast! You could tell there were a lot of regulars there and a lady and a couple came in right when we were getting ready and she said this was her go to place. I can see why. Thank You to the staff!

We live in DEN & were visiting CO Springs, We just wanted a break so we drove and stayed over night. We wanted real food (not the bs they serve for breakfast at the inn or IHOP...). Lucky enough, I found Sheldon's.

Tiny hole in the wall, but those are normally the best. You want a good breakfast or lunch, definitely make this one of your stops. Food, service... I still have their menu on my counter! [Shout out to you chef's ;) ... And owners ;)] Cheers!

Almost came to you you guys for my birthday, just couldn't afford the trip =\ Don't worry, You will have to put up with us sometime soon ;)

Keep up the great & tasty work

P.S. Did I mention, we were in CO Springs only 2 nights, and hubby wanted something real to eat. That's when we found this pearl. We had Sheldon's for bf & lunch both days. Can't stop obsessing ;)🙄🥰

Try them out. You won't regret.

Oh, and PPS, were the small blonde &...

This place is truly a piece of Americana in my opinion. It’s an old fashioned type feel of a diner where there’s nothing flashy and there’s no frills, just amazing coffee, food and service at a very decent price. It’s full of “regulars” who turn and look at the door when it opens because they are probably looking for their friends, but it’s not threatening at all. The waitresses will have your drink for you almost as quickly as you sit down and they make sure your coffee stays fresh. This place makes me reminisce for my childhood, back before chain restaurants took over everything. I get so excited to go here, it’s the absolute best. Try the “Jan’s Special” when you go, or their breakfast burrito. ...
